Completing an Internship for Credit (CAOR 2297)

The internship program is designed to provide students with an opportunity to gain meaningful work experience in a field of interest. Internships can be taken for credit through the college-wide Career Internship & Field Experience course (CAOR 2297) coordinated by counseling faculty.

All internships require a minimum of 45 hours of work at the internship site and students can receive 2 to 6 credits total (1-credit seminar and 1 additional credit for every 45 hours worked on site). Please note that students must secure an internship site as well as submit the necessary paperwork prior to registering for CAOR 2297 (instructor signature required). Students may obtain the needed forms located on right of this page under "FORMS I NEED".
